   That WAS magnificent, perhaps the best scene
   in the movie. BBC didn't have the budget or
   tech for that

   I am a bit saddened at how special effects
   have come to drive film/TV. Even if not as
   spiffy, good dialogue and plot structure
   made for a better product.

   Was watching a Jon Pertwee "Dr. Who" the
   other day. Very low budget - but it still
   worked quite well, told a good story.
